After composing the soundtrack for the first Mass Effect game,Jack Wall was chosen again by BioWare to take over the composition of the second game's soundtrack.

A very wise choice in my opinion.

The disc opens wonderfully with "The Illusive Man", a composition with a rather mysterious sound and an amazing violin accompanying the melody,dark and shady as the character himself. And then "The Humans are Dissapearing" is emitting emotions of determination to the player,that the mission you are tasked is not easy. "The Attack" throws you into the game's dynamic (a small part of the first game's track, "The Normandy" is also sampled in this track). "The Normandy Reborn" is just incredible, probably the most cheery track of the whole soundtrack.

The tracks with the names of the characters (Samara,Garrus,Miranda,Mordin,Jack,Legion,Tali,Jacob,Grunt and Thane) fit each character excellantly, it's like Jack Wall make a psycologic profile for each one and passed it into the music sheets.

There are also tracks named after places the player visits in game such as "Freedom's Progress", "Horizon" and "The Collector Base" which,if you play the game and hear the music again,you will instantly remember the places you have been.

The highlight of the soundrack is "Suicide Mission". Epic,dynamic,haunting with a characteristic melody, it undeniably becomes one of the best tracks written for videogame soundtrack. Even Jack Wall himself admited in an interview that this is his best composition.

"New Worlds" is a mix of "The Illusive Man" with the basis of the track on Mass Effect named "Uncharted Worlds". A refreshing melody,while using the game's Galaxy Map.

And finally, "Reflections" is Mass Effect 2's love theme. The piano is really touching and beautiful.

I recommend this soundtrack to every gamer. It is totally worth listentening.
